Former Governor of Lagos State and leader of the All Progressives’ Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has said there is a need for the country to undergo a “common sense” revolution, stressing that the many years of misrule by successive Peoples Democratic Party presidents had continued to sink the country further into crisis.

Tinubu, made this known on Monday in a statement titled ‘A Return to Decency,’ where he described the 16 years of PDP rule at the federal level as a period of steady decline into disaster.

According to him, “the longer they rule, the less benefit the people derive. Nigeria now needs a ‘common sense revolution,’ a revolution that calls forth a return to decency, probity, transparency of process and fairness in outcome.

“This is done not by subterfuge, divide and rule and turning Nigeria in a field of discord or a street of broken institutions. It is accomplished by honouring the principles of democratic good governance and economic justice. It is done by persuading the people they are better off as one instead of better off tearing at one another’s throats.

“Nigerians should be prepared for change. We must rescue Nigeria from those set to cause it irreparable harm. The change I talk about is the only route to our deliverance from 16 years of the PDP locusts. Nigeria is ours to keep and its democracy is ours to save,” he stated.
